The Town of Sackville is proud to once again offer the Trailblazers program, providing children in grades K-7 an unforgettable outdoor experience. Trailblazers uses Outdoor Education and Recreation to develop leadership skills and an environmental awareness in our young people. We use a variety of activities, like shelter building, fire starting, animal tracking and more, to keep youth engaged with the outdoors while being physically active and developing important skills.
Trailblazers begins immediately after school at Salem Elementary School. Students must be picked up behind Salem Elementary promptly at 4:30pm.
The program will be run outside, regardless of the weather (with extreme exceptions), so we are asking all children to dress for the weather outside. Don’t forget yo pack extra hats and mittens. Cold hands and heads are an ongoing issue. The kids will get wet and dirty.
There are maximum numbers of children that we can accept, so register early to avoid disappointment. Registration will be open between January 15 and January 28, 2017. There is No Cost for this program and healthy snacks will be provided.
